The ToddCast Show

In today's episode, Joe Templin from Albany, New York shares viewpoints and belief surrounding social pressure and the reduction of criminality by calling out bad behavior when we see it. He discusses how we become the average of the 5 people we spend the most time with and the very real importance of upgrading the people we hang out with in our life. We talk about the importance of healthy, loving relationships throughout life. Joe reveals details from his recent "COVID divorce" ending a 20-year marriage and what it's like to raise special needs children and learn from other special needs parents. We discuss Autism and Asperger's syndrome and how checklists are used to help avoid "a full-on meltdown".

Joe talks about what it was like to be legally dead at age 10 and come back to life. We explore personal development and the notion that everyone has the power to become more successful in a world of "crab mentality" thinking in others who cannot understand the sacrifice of pursuing success. Joe shares how small steps lead to big achievements in life. He and Todd discuss their own ADHD condition and how it is helpful in pursuing deep human relationships. We further explore how introverts and extroverts sometimes clash and why. Finally, Joe and Todd talk about creating change in life through the lens of his book "Everyday Excellence - A Daily Guide For Life" and how "without action, we don't change and without change, we aren't fully learning and developing on a personal level. The episode wraps up with a general discussion about various topics and thoughts to improve our future. And above all, he always seeks to "make deposits in the cosmic bank account" through doing good to others...an everlasting lesson he learned from his mother.

In today's episode, we are joined by Jim Marshall in Phoenix, Arizona to discuss human development and behavior. Jim shares his journey to retirement and dedicating his life to helping others. As a human behavioral engineer over many years he learned to identify patterns of behavior and how to break them using Socratic dialogue and biofeedback in an engineering format. His work delivered amazing results which led to identifying a person's real feelings based on reactions to questions and dialogue about specific events.

Through his techniques, Jim helps people identify and remove obstacles in their lives. His latest book "Septemics: Hierarchies of Human Phenomena (Analysis, Prediction & Management of Human Affairs)" is designed for the average person to self-identify and through introspection address and resolve issues. The book is a new "technology" intended for those who genuinely wish to improve their lives. And willing to do the steps and work needed to make a lasting difference in their lives.

On today's episode, we are joined by Anita in Phoenix, Arizona. A 72 year old woman with a calling to be of service to others her entire life. She reflects on everything from being involved in the first New Times publications, the first St. Mary's Food Bank, working to help people in society through the Urban League and CETA, as well as the memories of coming to Arizona with her late father, a Southern Baptist Minister. They traveled across the country, feeling called by God to Phoenix, Arizona back in the 1960s.

Anita has a fascinating and rich history of working with treating methadone patients, working with incarcerated and former offenders to rehabilitate and find jobs for, as well as serving as the director of Social Services in the Phoenix area where she helped endless people find and maintain employment.

Throughout her life, Anita has enjoyed a career and lifestyle built around helping others in various ways. Whether it be a food box, her last dollar, or simply watching the neighbor's pets while they are away - she has always been and continues to be a person with love in her heart for others. Her sense of selflessness and living in the light of her Faith in Jesus, she strives to be sin free and maintain an attitude of gratitude and loving kindness towards others.

Of the many changes in society in her lifetime, Anita feels the cell phone technology is a major example of the changes in society. She believes in walking a path of grace and mercy as Jesus would, to love and appreciate her neighbors, the less fortunate, and be kind to everyone. She urges young people to save their money! Don't buy guns on the street, and love your enemies and those who would do harm you. She often asks herself What Would Jesus Do? And then does her best to walk the walk according to her Faith and Biblical learnings. Finally, she shares that she feels younger inside than her 72 years of age would indicate. As we age, she reminds us we are still the same people inside - just older and a little more worn out. Her message is overwhelmingly positive and the perspectives and lessons shared in this podcast are a gem of wisdom and life experience anyone can glean from.
